Chapter 181 Disguise Travel
They were no different from ordinary businessmen, they all put on some disguise.
She looks a few years older now and doesn't have the same stunning charm as before.
In order to avoid being noticed at first glance, Nangong Xue also painted a few moles on his face.
It looks like he has pockmarks on his face. Dongfang Chen also has disguised his face, making it look much darker.
He also has a slight hunchback, after all, Dongfang Chen is just over 1.8 meters tall and is really too tall.
Even familiar people can't notice this disguise.
An Yi and his men were dressed up as servants, making them look very real.
Everyone got ready and started to move forward again.
I wonder if the town ahead is exactly like what the waiter just described?
Now we speed up the carriage, and when we get tired we just stop to rest for a while before continuing on our way.
About five or six days passed like this, and we finally arrived at another town.
Yunshan City.
The screams and begging here can be heard from far away.
The situation now is even more serious than what the waiter described.
Many people were so hungry that their legs were weak and they were staggering as they walked.
They were also driven away by officers and soldiers, and beaten if they did not obey.
Nangong Xue observed for a while and did not rush to take action. After all, there were so many people suffering in the world, and she could not save them all by herself.
Besides, she is not the one in power. Even if people want to scold her, they will only scold the emperor who sits above her for inaction.
I don’t even understand the situation now. If I act rashly, I will only get myself into trouble.
An Yi and his companions only care about the safety of their two masters. As for other people, they have little to do with them.
There are so many people suffering in the world, and there may be even more severe situations in places we can’t see.
Everyone saw a woman holding two children, kneeling in front of the soldiers guarding the gate.
"Uncle, uncle, please be kind and give us something to eat. We have been hungry for many days.
My two children are starving to death. Uncle, please have some mercy on them.
Even a sip of water or some rice soup would be fine."
"Get lost! Stop getting in my way! What's going on now? Don't you know?"
I'm just wondering, why do you come to our Yunshan City when there are so many places to go?
I heard that there was a plague in your area. Does anyone know if you have been infected with the plague?
If I let you in, won’t all the people in Yunshan City be finished?
Don't even think about going in, and don't even approach our city gate."
"Otherwise, don't blame us for being blind with our swords. Our Lord has spoken.
I will never let you into the city, no matter how much you beg me.
You might as well look for a solution somewhere else. Well, I have said everything I should and shouldn't say. For the sake of the child, I have done my best.
Get out! If you don’t get out, I’ll hit you.”
The woman just refused to leave, and now there are people fleeing famine everywhere.
Many people have died from the plague before, and those people died in a particularly tragic way.
His face turned blue, he was foaming at the mouth, his body was covered in ulcers and pus was oozing out.
These poor people, who will take care of them, who will save them.
God, please open your eyes and take a look! We innocent people just want to live in peace.
Is this already a luxury?
The child in the woman's arms was already dying. If he was not treated, there would be only one outcome.
The big guy was so hungry that he fell asleep on the ground with his eyes closed.
They now have only one wish, which is to live well.
Why didn't the imperial court care about them? If such a disaster had happened in the past, they would at least have helped them get through it.
Could it be that the imperial court was unaware of what was happening outside? All those officials were doing nothing.
They only know how to form cliques, engage in corruption and bribery. It seems they are really finished.
A few people with sharp eyes noticed Nangong Xue and her group, and they knew they were rich people just by looking at their equipment.
It's like seeing a savior and there is still hope.
He ran over tremblingly and knelt on the ground with a thud.
He kowtowed repeatedly, "Masters and ladies, please be kind and save us.
We are refugees and have not had a drop of water or a bite of food for many days."
"We adults are fine and can hold on, but the problem is that the children can't hold on.
Madam, you are the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, please save us! We will definitely repay you well.
Nangong Xue didn't say anything, just looked at the group of people coldly.
She knew that if she gave food to these people now, it would only harm them.
There may really be refugees among them, but not entirely. Some of them look sneaky at first glance.
Judging from his random glances, this person might be a spy trying to find out the situation.
In the capital, everyone started making their own plans after knowing that the King of War had left early.
What will happen here once the War King leaves? No one can predict.
The happiest ones were of course the Grand Tutor's Mansion and the Fourth Prince.
The Taifu is recovering well now and feels that he is back to normal.
I just want to take a gamble, the opportunity is now and gone, once missed it will never come back.
This was his only chance. The throne had been taken by others, so why couldn't he? Even feng shui had to rotate.
So the Grand Tutor asked his daughter to put a chronic poison in the emperor's food.
Of course, Dongfang Chen’s people knew all this, but it was just a mild chronic poison and not particularly powerful.
So this man didn't care, and the emperor had to suffer the consequences because he couldn't see the current situation clearly.
If you get the War King out at this time, wouldn't you be giving up your own life as well?
When the emperor was reviewing the memorials, he felt overwhelmed and very tired.
Alas, I am really old. The Queen and I only came here a few times yesterday.
Now he feels very tired. The queen, that little devil, has many tricks up her sleeve and serves him very comfortably.
After he has had a night's rest, he will continue to seek the queen's services.
The queen has many tricks, and her skin is really white, smooth and feels especially nice to touch.
She's much more interesting than those old-fashioned concubines.
Soon, Eunuch Wang whispered in the emperor's ear, "Your Majesty, the Empress is here."
"oh??
The Queen is very sensible and rarely comes to my Hall of Supreme Harmony. I wonder what's going on."
"Your Majesty, I saw that the Queen was holding ginseng soup in her hand. She must be here to serve Your Majesty.
Your Majesty is truly considerate, fearing that Your Majesty might be tired, and even took the initiative to make ginseng soup for Your Majesty."
"Ha ha.
Eunuch Wang, you are a rootless person, what do you know? Do you know what the pleasure of the boudoir is?
Let the Queen come in! I can’t wait any longer.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Although Eunuch Wang felt very uncomfortable when he heard this, he did not dare to show any emotion.
